Peron Election Honest-Hadley
by Frances Griffin
Denouncing rumors regarding the recent election in Argentina, Paul E. Hadley, visiting instructor in international relations, told students .the election was supervised by the army and there was no possibility of dishonesty.
Mr. Hadley said that there have been no complaints as to the procedure of the election from either Argentina or America and Tamborini has formally conceded the election to Peron.
PERON INFLUENCE
In discussing the character of Argentina's new dictator, he said, •“Peron is of more influence and therefore more dangerous than- the usual South American dictator. He was educated in Europe, mostly in Italy and has European fascist connections. Peron has efctablished'his own labor unions, thereby undermining the free labor movement in Argentina. Although he has visions of running all of South America it is doubtful if any attempts at dom-l ination would succeed unless he can | form an alliance with Brazil.’’
Mr. Hadley believes that Peron ■ will make every effort to establish I relations with the allies.
The blue books issued by the : state department denouncing Peron ' was resented by the Argentine peo-i pie. Even an.ti-Peron groups regarded it as extremely poor taste,
! he continued.
'ARGENTINE SENTIMENT
Concerning Argentine sentiment ; toward the United States Mr. Had-ley said that the anti-American ' feeling in Argentina is not as deep j as some would have us believe, lt j is not the Americans but some ot ! the government’s policies which are generally disliked, and United States cultural activities are well received.

Economists See Inflation Peril
WASHINGTON, Apr. 7. —(U.P)— President Truman’s top economic advisers warned tonight that there is danger of an "explosive inflation” but predicted that it will pass by the middle of 1947, if Congress acts promptly on legislation to keep prices and rents in line. 15
CONTROL DEMANDED
In what amounted to an urgent, last-minute plea for quick renewal of price control authority, they asserted that “the next few months will be more dangerous and difficult" than the runaway inflation days following World War I.
“But,” they said, "if the nation is prepared to face the critical months in the same spirit in which it faced the war emergency and if necessary legislation is passed, we believe that the last major stumbling block will be behind us.”
Aviation Television Aired by Tolstad
Military and commercial aspects of aviation television were discussed Saturday by Bob Tolstad, SAE and Alpha Eta Rho president, on Aviation Today, a radio program ! conducted by Gamma Beta Alpha, SC radio fraternity, and originating from KIEV.
Tolstad. representing Alpha Eta I Rho, aviation fraternity, is the ; first of a group of SC students and alumni interested in aviation who I will appear on this weekly 15 minute program of informal aviation discussion lead by Roger Lockwood, member of Gamma Beta Alpha.
The RCA flying eye, a recently announced aviation television, development, and the American Legion air show were included in the topics commented on by Tolstad.
Pilot of tlie B-29. the Trojan Spirit, Harry L Bremcer will be this Saturday’s guest at 5 p.m. He will describe the Army Day air show as well as discuss new aviation developments. Bremner recently returned to the campus after serving • the AAF.
Radio Panels Retain Rodee
In a continuation of a regular series of panels on controversial subjects. Dr. Carleton C. Rodee, head of the political science department, takes part in a discussion entitled, "Should Congress Establish a 65-Cent Minimum Wage?” on KFI tomorrow at 9:30 p.m.
The program upon which Dr. Rodee appears, called “‘The American Way of Life,” also features Dr. Sanford Goldner, associate director of research in the CIO. The two experts will defend the proposition of the 65-cent minimum wage against un-named opponents.
Dr. George Tiner, president of Pepperdine college, acts as mediator on the panel discussions.
The final group of personality supermen having been selected by a process of elimination during the past week by a survey conducted by Amazons are Don Blank, Stray Greek; Bob Brekke, Sigma Chi; Chuck Franklin, Kappa Sig; Terry Nelson, SAE; Al Slater, Sigma Chi; and Jim Walker, Phi Psi.
FIVE QUALIFICATIONS
Personality, popularity, talent, campus fame, and political acumen are the units on the yardstick that will be used in ,the final selection Friday night according to Amazon Eleanor Valentine, and Blue Keyers Jim Mitchell and Jim Holmes, planning potentates for the all-university affair.
Those persons who wobble down the left-hand ditch alongside the political road will have a field day at the dig, for balloting will be conducted on the basis of votes paid for at ,the rate of one penny per, and ballot box stuffing and strong-arm methods will be considered not only legal, but desirable. Since there will be no limit to the number of votes one may purchase in support of his favorite candidate, the hopeful with the best-heeled pressure group behind him is likely to prove hard to beat.
BENEFIT AFFAIR
Lest the whole affair assume a tinge of the mercenary, let it be hastily said that proceeds from the balloting will be turned over to the World Student Service fund, the organizations involved receiving nothing but free aspirin for the headaches acquired during the campaign.
Dancing rrom 7:30 p.m. until midnight will be to the strains of platters featuring the smoother tunes of past seasons.

While an undergraduate he appeared in “Outward Bound,’’ “One Sunday Afternoon,” and • “Everyman.” For a year he was Tex on the radio show ‘Death Valley Days” and for two years a teacher of speech and drama at a Texas high school. BROADWAY ROLES On Broadway he started with a walk-on part in the New York theatre guild's “Taming of the Shrew,” later improved his standing in the Playwrights’ company productions “Two on an Island’’ and “Abe Lincoln in Illinois.” Afterwards he toured with Jane Cowl in George Bernard Shaw’s "Captain Brassbound’s Conversion,” and with Blanche Yurka in “Yes, My Darling Daughter.”
War took Newman to the navy and the OSS. While in London he did five service shows at the Scala theatre. Now discharged, he returns to SC to work for his master’s degree in drama. His last role was as Dean Damon, the English professor in “The Male Animal.”

Suggested procedure calls for the authors to state first their personal concept of the meaning of religion, then to elaborate with examples of the application of religious philosophy and ethics in every-day living.
Sectarianism, in its narrower sense, should be strictly avoided, council rules affirm, though profitable aspects of .various creeds may be used to point up the value of moral living.
A panel of distinguished' judges will determine two winners from the manuscripts submitted, and Don Gibbs, council president, promises publication and radio presentation for both selections. Other awards are now being determined. SUBMIT ESSAYS
All essays should be submitted to the Council of Religion office, located in the student lounge, third floor Student Union.

Chyka to Tell Forum Croup Story of Jade
Lecturer to Discuss Influence of Substance On Life, History, Art of Chinese Nation
The mysticism, beauty, and symbolism of jade as it has influenced the life and history of the Chinese nation will be the subject of the second lecture of the “Chinese Art Cycle,” series presented by Dr. Matila Ghyka in Bowne hall
tomorrow afternoon at 4:15.
"Jade in China is considered not
only as a beautiful substance but has been endowed with mystical and transcendental qualities,” Dr. Ghyka stated in discussing tomorrow's lecture.
Going on to discuss jade in a j general way. Dr. Ghyka stated that ; the colors of jade run ail the way j from white .to black, passing through red, which is very rare, yellow, green (all shades), lavender, and brown. The Chinese have names for every shade of jade that is known, some of the more intriguing being, “mutton fat” and "chicken bone.”
JADE CHARACTERISTICS
The Chinese draw a parallel between the physical characteristics of jade — beauty, purity, and strength, and moral characteristics. They have gone even further and filled their language with thousands of methaphors concerning jade.
In China mysticism and symbolism have always been considered in the use of jade. These two factors have played an important part in the Chinese use of jade in their religious and court ceremonies. Even though China is rapidly becoming westernized, Dr. Ghyka considers that jade will not fade from Chinese culture even with its mysticism and symbolism.
GHYKA’S ENTHUSIASM
“A collector, without looking at it with some mysticism, is gradually permeated by the charm of jade so that it becomes a most fascinating hobby and subject of meditation,” Dr. Ghyka said.
The public is invited to attend this lecture and at that time view some of the pieces of Dr. Ghyka’s collection.

Initial response to the essay contest sponsored by the Council of Religion indicates that Trojans are eager to express themselves on the topic “Religion in Daily Life,” according to Ray Scott, publicity chairman in charge of the competition.
“The contest will continue for two more weeks, so there is still plenty of time to write down those thoughts you’ve always wanted to express on the subject of religion in everyfiay life,” Scott stated.
The form of the composition will not be strictly bound by rules, Scott added, but essays should keep within the bounds of 1500 words. PERSONAL CONCEPTS
Suggested procedure calls for the authors to state first their personal concept of the meaning of religion, then to elaborate with examples of the application of religious philosophy and ethics in every-day living.
Sectarianism, in its narrower sense, should be strictly avoided, council rules affirm, though profitable aspects of .various creeds may be used to point up the value of moral living.
A panel of distinguished' judges will determine two winners from the manuscripts submitted, and Don Gibbs, council president, promises publication and radio presentation for both selections. Other awards are now being determined. SUBMIT ESSAYS
All essays should be submitted to the Council of Religion office, located in the student lounge, third floor Student Union.

Chyka to Tell Forum Croup Story of Jade
Lecturer to Discuss Influence of Substance On Life, History, Art of Chinese Nation
The mysticism, beauty, and symbolism of jade as it has influenced the life and history of the Chinese nation will be the subject of the second lecture of the “Chinese Art Cycle,” series presented by Dr. Matila Ghyka in Bowne hall
tomorrow afternoon at 4:15.
"Jade in China is considered not
only as a beautiful substance but has been endowed with mystical and transcendental qualities,” Dr. Ghyka stated in discussing tomorrow's lecture.
Going on to discuss jade in a j general way. Dr. Ghyka stated that ; the colors of jade run ail the way j from white .to black, passing through red, which is very rare, yellow, green (all shades), lavender, and brown. The Chinese have names for every shade of jade that is known, some of the more intriguing being, “mutton fat” and "chicken bone.”
JADE CHARACTERISTICS
The Chinese draw a parallel between the physical characteristics of jade — beauty, purity, and strength, and moral characteristics. They have gone even further and filled their language with thousands of methaphors concerning jade.
In China mysticism and symbolism have always been considered in the use of jade. These two factors have played an important part in the Chinese use of jade in their religious and court ceremonies. Even though China is rapidly becoming westernized, Dr. Ghyka considers that jade will not fade from Chinese culture even with its mysticism and symbolism.
GHYKA’S ENTHUSIASM
“A collector, without looking at it with some mysticism, is gradually permeated by the charm of jade so that it becomes a most fascinating hobby and subject of meditation,” Dr. Ghyka said.
The public is invited to attend this lecture and at that time view some of the pieces of Dr. Ghyka’s collection.
